Abstract:
Islamic medicine or Tibb is part of the Muslim philosophical sciences or al-ulum al-Agliyya awi'l-Hikmiyya and its contributions have been almost universal in nature. In fact, Islamic medicine during the Middle Ages was as much a part of the intellectual formation of the Christian West as of the Muslim East. It was the Latin West which conferred such titles as the "Experimentator" upon al-Razi (865-925 A.D.), the "Prince of Medicine" upon Ilan Sina (980-1037) and the "Commentator" upon Ibn Rushd (1126-1198), apparently in recognition of the fact that they had contributed to the development of civilization as understood in medieval Europe., The present study focuses mainly on these medical scientists of Islam.
